Thousands of people joined the general strike called by the two largest unions in Italy against labor and economic reforms of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

Under the slogan ‘not going well’, about 50,000 people marched through the streets of Milan, 70,000 in Turin, 50,000 in Naples, 40,000 in Rome and 15,000 in Palermo to ask the leftist government the “change” of its economic policy.

The government “is wrong to exclude the unions and do not let us be involved in economic policy,” complained Susanna Camusso, Secretary General of Italy’s largest union, CGIL, also leftist.
